DYEING-MACHINE Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 1, 1915.

Application filed November 10, 1914. Serial No. 871,382.

To all wlmm it may concern Be it known that I. SAMUEL Banana, :1 subjeet of Great Britain. residing at lrovi deuce, in the county of lrovidenee and Stateof Rhode island, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Dyeing hlaehines, of which the following is a Speeilir'ation.

My invention has reterenee to an improvement in dyeing machines and more particularly to an ii'nprovei'nent in that form oi dyeing machine in whirh the yarn is dyed 0n the beam or in the form of cops. cheeses. crosswound bobbins, etc., and in which the dyeing liquor has a forward and a reverse flow through the beam. cops. eheeFes. etc. In the.v usual etmstruetion of sneh dyeing machines. as heretofore eonetrueted. the beam, cops, eheeses. eta. are held in a ver-- tical position and in an entirely inelosed vat. or heir. also a centrifugal pump and a plurality of valves are usually used to eontrol the forward and reverse tlow oi the dyeing: liquor. ln these closed machines the yarn after being dyed on the beam is re moved from the dyeing marliine. the surplus dyeing liquor extracted and the yarn dried separately from the dyeing machine. whereby a material amount of surplus dyeing liquor is lost.

The object of my invention is to improve the eonstruetion of a dyeing maehine whereby yarn may be dyed on the beam. the FIH plus dyeing liquor evtraeted from the yarn and the yarn dried all without ren'ioviug the yarn from the dyeing machine.

A further object o't my invention is to eonstruet a dyeing maehine so that the surplus dyeing liquor extracted from the yarn and heretofore lost, is now extrai'ted in the dyeing: machine, saved and again used for dyeing.

.\n :-ther object of my invention is to provide a twin open top tank dyeing inzu-hiue for sample lyeing or for dyeing a comparatively small amount of Iu'JH'k. whereby one or both tanks may he trod tor dyeing. ex traeiing and drying the yarn.

Further objects ol my invention are to simplil'y the ronstruetion and operation of a twin open top dyeing; mruhine, hereby yarn may he dyed on the beam. the surplus liquor evtrartz-d and waved in the maehine. all valves eliminatml. the dyeing: greatly improved and the amount of dyeing liquor and time heretofore required materially re- (lured.

My invention consists in the peculiar and novel ci'instructipn of a 'alveless open top twin dyeing maehine, in whieh the yarn is dyed on the beam, the surplus dyeing liquor extraeted from the dyed yarn in the machine and the yarn on the beam dried in the maehine. said dyeing maehine having details of Candi-notion as will he more fully SQt forth hereinafter and elaimed.

Fir. is a side view of the dyeing! ma hiue shovv'ing a beam in the extracting and dryine' position in dotted line... 3. a \ertiial transverse seetional view through the dyeing mar-lune, taken on line i. 3. of Fig. l. and Fig. -l. is a vortii-al longitudinal sectional v'ie'vv through the maehine taken on line 4. i. of Fig. 1.. showing a beam in the lower dvein; poi-itinn in full linen and in the upper extraetingj and drying position in dotted lines.

This: dyeing ehainlier is slightly longer and wider than the usual beam used for dyeing yarn and ispreterahly rounded at the bottom as shown in Fig. lla htanl; 5 is supported on a base 7 having the legs 9.

One end of eat-h tanl; supports a lower and an upper serew-elamp i0. 10. eaeh of which are in serew-threaded engagem nt with anut member ll seeured to the end of the tank.
